www.scan.co.uk sell bare bones gigabyte rack mount boxes which are faily cheap. They have removable IDE drive bays which you could add some 120G maxtors. I guess you'd need the 4U version. Mike On Fri, 2002-04-12 at 14:39, Chris Allen wrote:

I'm looking for a low-end linux box - preferably rack-mount to act as a secondary disk mirror for a large web site. Spec should be:

- 512MB RAM - 750MHZ - 1GHz - processor not too important - at least 400-500GB hard disk space

Does anybody have any idea where I can buy such a beast?

I'm happy to do the linux install myself, as long as the box is linux-capable.

Many thanks...

Thanks to the many who replied - both on and off list. It's really encouraging to see so many dedicated sources for Linux - and that companies are finally waking up to the need for this type of installation. Chris.
